Absolutely hilarious! One of the best comedians at this year's Fringe. Half the audience took a few seconds to get some of his more subtle jokes, but he got an excellent response overall. Very witty and unusually intelligent stand-up

Landers, August 2004

I can understand the criticism, but I enjoyed him immensely. His mixture of real intellectualism combined with plain old "bad" jokes, puns etc make him perhaps the most unexpected of comedians doing the rounds today. I've seen many a vaunted but poor comedian at the Fesival, Dan does his own thing and, yes, maybe sometimes he doesn't get the laughs he was expecting, but in the modern consumerist society, where the customer is allegedly king, surely thickos buying £10 tickets and not getting the punchline serves them right and shouldn't be held against the comedian? Intelligent humour. The way forward in a world of common-lowest demoninator humour!
